After-hours doctor fails in legal bid to overturn PSR’s $460,000 payback demand

Dr Hamid Norouzi was originally ordered to repay rebates for urgent after-hours MBS items

An after-hours doctor who successfully challenged a Professional Services Review order that he repay $460,000 in misclaimed Medicare rebates has been reordered to pay up after a failed legal appeal.

In 2020, Dr Hamid Norouzi was told to repay rebates for urgent after-hours MBS items he had claimed while working for the corporate deputising service House Call Doctor.
